For some reason I've had more time in the last couple of days…

That’s because I’ve cancelled the fight show. I am busier than a pair of plaid bell bottoms, so something had to give and I’m a perfectionist, so I’m not going to run a sub-par show. Instead I’ll do it again late in the summer in super dooper fashion with a really good professional card. In … Continue reading

I was thinking there (don’t worry I had a spare ice pack handy to cool my brain down afterwards) about the questions I get when I’m coaching.

Some Conditioning Work for MMA

Carbs

Okay so first off you don’t need carbs. I want to get that out there and nail my flag to the nutritional pole before I embark upon this entry. There is no neccessity for the carb in your diet. There is a dependence on them in modern life to fill your calorific needs of your … Continue reading

Basically my last week of training

I forgot to update a whole load of stuff in the last week so I’ll do a fill in post on my own training while I have a few minutes. It has been going great, pretty much injury free, lots of good quality work and a totally different approach to before. I was having a … Continue reading
